The NZAAE was formed in late 2004 to provide a united voice for Accredited Employers. The NZAAE has worked constructively with;

• ACC as a member of the National Advisory Forum,• The Department of Labour,• The Council for Trade Unions,• Our member and associate member organisations.

Members of the Executive Committee have met with successive Ministers for ACC. The NZAAE has also participated in the operational review of the Accredited Employer Programme and consulted directly with the Minister for ACC and the Department of Labour on the introduction of choice into the ACC scheme.

Employers have over a decade of experience in the current version of the Accredited Employer Programme. The NZAAE believes that Accredited Employers have a valuable contribution to make to injury prevention and rehabilitation.
